    Dad you will be missed very, very much. Words cannot even explain it. The only advice I can give to others is to cherish every moment you have with your parents. One second I was talking to him and the next second he was gone. It was the most horrible thing I have ever had to go through in my entire life.

    Thanks to everyone that attended the services on Friday and Saturday.

    A special thanks goes out to the Air Force Honor Guard that performed the flag folding ceremony. That meant a lot to me and my family for him to be recognized for the 20 years that he gave to his country and made me very proud of him.

    He will always be in my thoughts and prayers.

    Pam I am so saddened to hear of Buddy’s passing. It just seems like yesterday Buddy and I were joining the Air Force. I remember the day I ran into you and he at Keesler back in 1983, what a pleasant surprise it was, it seems like last week.

    My prayers for you and your family during this most difficult of times.
